With over 99% of the ballots cast in Weber County counted, Alicia Washington, Kevin Lundell, Flor Lopez and incumbent council member Ken Richey have emerged as the top vote getters in Tuesday’s Ogden City Council election. Results remain unofficial at this time.

As of Thursday around 3:15 p.m., in the race for the vacant District 1 seat, Flor Lopez had earned 1,106 votes (60.11%) compared to Jase Reyneveld, who had earned 734 votes (39.89%).

Lopez told the Standard-Examiner that it was rewarding to be elected to the seat.

“Winning this race for Ogden City Council District 1 is an incredible honor,” she said. “I’m deeply grateful to the residents of Ogden for their trust and support, and to the many volunteers and community members who helped make this campaign possible. This was truly a people powered effort. … This win isn’t about one person it’s about all of us and the future we’re building together and I’m ready to get to work.”

She said she’s now turning her focus to the task ahead.

“In the coming months, I’ll be focused on listening and preparing meeting with residents, local organizations, and city staff to better understand priorities across our neighborhoods,” she said. “My goal is to enter the new term ready to collaborate and take meaningful action on the issues that matter most: housing affordability, sustainable growth, support small business owners and equitable opportunities for all.”

In the at-large Seat B race, challenger Kevin Lundell handily unseated incumbent Council member Bart Blair with Lundell earning 6,870 votes (60.23%) versus Blair’s 4,536 votes (39.77%).

Lundell told the Standard-Examiner that he was excited about the results.

“I’m honored to have earned the vote of over 60% of Ogdenites and look forward to representing all of Ogden with the same passion and intensity that I brought to the campaign trail,” he said.

He said after a well-earned break, the work will begin even before being sworn in.

“I plan to take some much-needed rest and spend time with my family,” he said. “You will also see me continuing to engage with the community in person and on social media, featuring new interviews with Ogdenites who are doing amazing things in the neighborhood.”

Also unseating an incumbent is Alicia Washington, who took a commanding lead in the at-large Seat A race with 6,431 votes (56.63%) versus Council member Marcia White, who had 4,926 votes (43.37%).

Washington told the Standard-Examiner that she appreciates the support of the voters.

“I’m humbled to have won the support of the majority of voters in Ogden, and I’m ready to get to work building an Ogden that’s better for all of us,” she said.

She added that she’s ready to get to work for the people.

“In the months leading up to my term I’m going to continue connecting with people across the city, attending and reviewing work sessions and council meetings as I have been doing for years, and brainstorming ideas for the future,” she said.

The closest race of the night was the District 3 seat where incumbent Council member Ken Richey was holding on to a lead with 1,792 votes (52.14%) versus challenger Heath Satow who had earned 1,645 votes (47.86%).

Richey told the Standard-Examiner that he was happy to see a strong turnout in the election.

“Running for the office is a stressful and busy time,” he said. “I always enjoy talking with my friends and neighbors in Ogden. The conversations are instructive, and largely positive. I appreciate the engagement of Ogden, we had really good turnout and it is heartening to see that level of civic engagement. I am excited to continue working on the council and continue representing district 3. My opponent, Heath Satow, was a great opponent. I appreciated a clean and honest campaign where we shared our individual strengths and vision for Ogden and asked the voters to support the candidate they felt would best represent them.”

He said he’s looking forward to the opportunity to interact with the newcomers to the council.

“I’ll continue the work on the council and plan to reach out to Flor, Alicia and Kevin to get to know them better,” he said. “I would hope all of Ogden is pulling for this council and administration to make the next four years the best ever. I’m optimistic that we can find common ground to build on the work that has been done from so many who have served previously.”

According to Weber County Clerk/Auditor Ricky Hatch, less than 200 ballots from across the county remain to be counted, the remaining of which have issues that can be remedied by voters in the coming days.

“If a voter’s signature or ID verification has been challenged, they have until noon of Nov. 17 to complete the additional verification process outlined in the notices we sent to them,” he said. “We mail a letter to every voter whose signature or ID verification has been challenged. If we have the phone number and email, we also text and email them instructions.”

He said that, while the public may be moving on from Tuesday’s election, the Weber County Election office’s work is far from being finished.

“We’re now in the cleanup period of the election,” he said. “While candidates and the public have largely moved on as though the election results were final, we are triple checking the numbers, conducting audits, and ensuring that every legal vote is accurately counted and reported, helping the cities to be able to certify the results.”

Hatch noted that most municipalities plan to canvass the results of the elections Nov. 18 with the exceptions of Farr West and Marriott-Slaterville, which plan to canvass on Nov. 13.
